I'm hungry to see some concept art. Lets get this thread out of theorizing and start drawing~ So, if no one minds, I'll start sketching on the Albatross water-starter?

Sounds good. Ill start thinking about naming ,pokedex entry and some sprites. (im not good at drawing)
How about this as an idea for the first stage evolution? (p.dex entry description or jus basic description)
Name: Aquatross, Aqualing (just an alpha stage name ill think better ones)
A small albatross hatchling not yet ready to fly. It dreams of soaring the skies.

I love all these ideas. I will come up with a drawing for the Horned Devil Pokemon

Okay. Was it horned devil or horned devil lizard? Once I see some concepts Ill try to start making sprite art for them. Hmm. Ive figured some more names for the albatross and its evolutions. Tidetross, Surftross, Divetross, Trossking, Trossduke, Trossper, Trossling, Watross, Aedtross, Albatide, Albarion, Albacarie. So if any of those sound good to you fellas then tell. Also im thinking about throwing some descriptions of them (you know how they look) for inspiration or base for the artists. :D

I see. Hmm. My favourite types...I like the idea. Hmm. I guess this project is still so far 3-4 people project. Well that only means that we have more control over the project.
Hmm...I think we should start organising things a bit.
By the way how much critique can you take? I mean these kind of projects always get their share of critism.

Ok, given that you have three main gods of Greek mythology, you could model them off of the Kami trio if you wanted, and make them humanoid. Or, you could just go by animals or concepts that the Gods themselves represent.

Hades - Fire/Dark - Think the Balrog from the Lord of The Rings, The Three headed Dog Cerberus, or like a 'grim reaper' archetype.

Zeus - Electric/Flying - Zeus often took the form of an eagle or bull, and was the Sky God who wielded the famous Lightning bolt. Tauros/Braviary + Zapdos?

Poseidon - Water - Any kind of large fish or sea creature, really - Dolphins, especially. Could kind of conflict with Kyogre, though.

Poseidon is also the God of Earthquakes so Water/Ground would be more fitting. An octopus or squid with a trident pitch top would be pretty cool as his pet is the Kraken (depending on what archtype stories you follow)

In terms of ideas, how about a silver deer based on Artemis? (water type perhaps?) And maybe a centaur or something with a bow for Apollo (and fire type)

Also something based on the Nemean lion, perhaps a golden lion that would be steel type (since its fur is impervious to mortal weapons)

Ooh also perhaps a mons based on the Stymphalian Birds (steel/poison since they have bronze beak and metallic feathers, and have poisonous dung apparenty)

Is this to be strictly Greek or are we just adding? I mean there are a ton of greek stories we can go off of, Jason and the Argonaughts, the trials of Hercules, Icarus, Perseus, Achellis, etc. There are a ton of Demi gods and other lesser known gods as well as the Titans and the Primodials we can use as well.

Awesome ideas GolurkIsDaBomb and XanderO.
Go ahead Golurk! Its always great that someone wants to draw a first concept.
Just as a note to everyone: The ideas dont have to be based on Greek Mythology.
Oh by the way was there a boar in greece mythology? Ephesos Boar or something? I would want that to materialize. Perhaps grass, ground etc.

Okay. After reading vast articles from wikipedia (all about greek mythology) I think we have more than enough mythological beings. So after we have decided what myths to use maybe we could think about what animals to use as a base for the pokemon? Should we use animals native to greece etc?

We have a name for this guy yet? Or any reference I can use? Because I'm drawing it classic Sugimori style and with all this talk of Greek mythology, I'm not certain if unrealistic is the route you want to take here.

Alexial you could draw it as a small albatross. Imagine an albatross chick/cub/baby whose only dream is to fly but cant yet. That should be quite inspiring vision. Colorpallet (if I may be so bold to suggest) would be white and blue/darkblue.
